Vintage 1960's Astatic F-11 Chrome microphone cable adapter w Atlas DS-14 Boomerang microphone stand for D104, 77L, DR10, DNHZ, etc... # 1

Hello and welcome to The House of Chrome. You are looking at an older 1960's era Atlas DS-14 "Boomerang" model microphone stand with the Astatic model F-11 microphone / stand adapter that comes with a short flexible cable an original male 1/4 inch type end connector. The F-11 was sold by Astatic from the late 1940's and into the 1970's before being discontinued and was suitable for several Astatic model microphones such as the D104, DN50, DN500, 77L, K2, T3, WR20 & WR40 to name a few. The Atlas DS-14 model desk stand was first introduced in the 1960's by The Atlas Corp and has changed very little since the early then. One of the most famous and practical stands ever built and virtually indestructible. This is a 1960's era stand. I believe Atlas is still making the mic stand today but I could be wrong? This unique F-11 adapter allows you to use most older Astatic microphones due to the different 3 pin design this company was using from the 1930's to the 1970's. The F-11 is made from solid brass with a beautiful polished chrome finish. Pic # 2 is from a 1960's Astatic catalog showing this adapter and it's characteristics. Pic # 3 shows the Atlas DS-5 model in one of their old catalogs. Pics # 11 & 12 show an Astatic 10-C model mic on top of this F-11 adapter to show you how the adapter works with the Astatic microphone though the microphones are not included. This adapter is intended to be screwed onto and desk or floor stand of choice. Once attached you could use your Astatic mic. This adapter ONLY works with Astatic models due to it's unique design. This cannot be used with Shure or Electro Voice mics. The chrome finish on the F-11 is very nice with zero dent's or corrosion. The F-11's cable itself is soft, pliable and works perfectly. The cable and adapter is properly wired and grounded so you won't have any issues. Many of these older F-11 adapters need service as the wiring is not properly grounded or even connected which causes unwanted feedback such as buzzing and humming. You'll get many good years out of this adapter. The cable is only 5 feet long. Again, it has the standard Switchcraft male 1/4 inch end connector as well for use with most audio equipment and all guitar amplifiers. The Atlas stand has the chrome riser and painted cast iron base. It has extremely lite wear as seen in the pics provided and still has the original 5 bottom pads that work great. Dimensions with F-11 and stand together are appx 8 inches tall X 6 inches wide X 7 inches deep. This setup is ready for any older Astatic mic you have. Simply screw it on and you are ready to go.
